A Kaleidoscope of Marvels! Beautifully bizarre. A treasure chest of wonders and absurdities. Easily one of my favorite books by Hackle or anyone else. Highly recommended!

Brian Bowyer liked Clare Lune's review of Family Descent: "Totally unhinged and wild. Classic Bowyer! If your family is f@#$ed, this novella will make you feel better. I recommend reading Bowyer's memoir as well to see where he drew inspiration."

Brian Bowyer and 3 other people liked Paige Ray's review of Family Descent: "If you've read Bowyer's memoir then you will recognize certain events that ultimately shaped and inspired this story. I had a lot of fun reading this one knowing what I knew before going into it. The ending was absolutely INSANE. I loved it."

Brian Bowyer and 2 other people liked D.S. LaLonde's review of Family Descent: "A carnival of carnage, played out by a cast of drunk psychopaths with casual attitudes to murder, dying, and mayhem. This author is my favorite writer of transgressive horror, and this book does not disappoint. "
